I want to feel constructive again, & it is hard to wait for meds to kick in, or put in the long-term investment. But that is what I need to try to do. Hope your rough time smooths out a bit. Thanks for the affirmations. felix

Cold means physically cold! I allow the heat in the house to shut off for most of the work day which means I'm cold a lot. I'm tempted to rethink that policy and just pay the higher utility bills because I'm tired of my nose, toes and fingers getting cold while I work.
I have high hopes for things smoothing out too. I get to increase my Lamictal tomorrow and I'm very optimistic that I might be getting close to a good therapeutic range for me, since I've been substantially more functional with each increase. But I also have a lot of stress that's not going to improve for a few months, so I don't expect any miracles.
Hang in there, and come post here whenever you need a shoulder. We're here for each other.
